Abstract: 855. Roach, H. P. June 17, 1908. Crossings with movable parts; locking- bars, arrangements and connexions of; locking- bolts and the like; mechanically operated from vehicle.-Relates to means for operating and locking a movable frog - point used at the intersection of the inner rails adjacent to a railway - track junction. Fig. 4 shows the plan of one arrangement in which the frogpoint 5 is operated in conjunction with the track points (not shown) through the rods 8, 8<a>, and is locked in either one or other of its two positions by the engagement of projections 13 on levers 10, 10<a> with recesses 14 in the end of the tongue. To ensure that the tongue shall be moved completely into one or other of its two positions, wheel-operated rocking bars 15, 16 are mounted on the outer side of the two inner rails and are connected to the levers 10, 10<a>. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the rocking bars 15, 16 are not adapted to swing over their pivots but merely to rise and fall, and two additional bars 15a, 16<a> are placed at the other end of the tongue. In order that the tongue 5 may be thrown to open the main line before the train reaches the points 3, the rocking-bar 15 is connected to another wheel-operated bar 29, Figs. 5 and 7, which is adapted to be moved transversely up to the main-line rail when the points are set for the main line. The oncoming train then automatically sets the frog-point for the main line in advance. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 9, the frog and junction points are held in the main-line position by spring devices 84, 88, the points being operated by any known means. The frog - point is automatically moved into alinement with the inside rail of the siding, whenever a train approaches the frog in either direction, by means of the wheel-operated members 16, 16<a>, preferably constructed as described in Specification 856/09. These wheeloperated members are connected together and to the frog-point by the pull-rods 73<a> and links 79, 75, one member being depressed when the other is raised. The points 3 are locked in position, after being moved to open the siding, by a locking-device 86 constructed as described in Specification 12,945/08. After the frogpoint has been moved into position for the branch line, it is prevented from returning until the train has cleared one or more rocking-bars 50, 51 connected by short links 50<a>, 51<a> to the pull-rods 73<a>. To permit the frog-point to be operated directly by the wheels of the vehicles independently of the junction points in arrangements such as that shown in Fig. 4, a yielding element is placed in the connexions on either side of the tongue.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
IPC: B41J25/18
Filed: 1909-04-01
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 7826. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. April 1. Tabulating - mechanism ; carriage - releasing arrangements.-Relates to tabulating-mechanism of the "column-jumper" class. Tabulating-keys are mounted on levers 13 connected to rods 16, each having a slot 17 engaged by the handle 18 of a column-stop 19 which is adapted to be swung forward to engage a stop 21 on the paper-carriage. The stops 19 are mounted on a rod 20 carried by a frame 26, which is pivoted at 29 and carries an arm 31 for lifting the feed-rack 34 to release the carriage. When a key is operated, the rod 16 is thrust upwards and tilts the selected stop 19 until its index-finger 41 engages a rack 27 on the frame 26 as shown in Fig. 7 Further movement of the key rocks the frame 26 on its pivots to release the carriage and moves the selected stop 19 into the path of the stop 21 as shown in Fig. 4. The slots 17 prevent the stops 19, other than the selected one, from being moved into the path of the stop 21 and also prevent the other tabulating-keys from being moved. The frame 26 is arrested by the rack 27 engaging a brake strip 42a. When the key is released, the frame 26 is restored by the weight of the feed-rack and a spring. The stop 19 is restored by means of a spring-pressed ball 45, which, during the movement of the stop is forced partly out of a groove 46 in the rod 20. When it is desired to use the device without jumping columns, the rod 20 is turned by a handle 49 so that all the stops 19 are turned until the fingers 41 engage the rack 27 and the handles 18 are at the top of the slots 17. A tabulating-key connected to a link 52 is then used in the ordinary manner. A detent 55 engaging recesses 56, 57 is employed to secure the rod 20 in either of its two positions. To permit adjustment of the stops, there is provided, between the rods 16 and the levers 13, a loose connexion consisting of a slotted part 23, which is pivoted to the lever 13 and is provided with a threaded stem 22 entering the rod 16. The connexions permit lateral play of the upper ends of the rods, so that the column-stops may be adjusted. This is effected by moving the frame 26 to bring the handles 18 to the top of the slots 17 and turning the rods 16 back on the pivots, the stops being then turned back to bring their teeth 42 out of the rack 27 and moved to the new position and again coupled to the rods 16. The rod 20 is provided with a groove 47, which receives the balls 45 when the stops are turned back for adjustment. Instead of a single stop 21 on the carriage, there may be a series of denomination stops.

Abstract: 12, 249. Lake, H. W., [Winchester Repeating Arms Co.]. May 18. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Consists in a " combined part " or device for preventing premature opening or firing of repeating smallarms of the type in which the breech mechanism is operated by a sliding handle located forward of the gun frame, and connected to the breech mechanism by an action-bar. The gun shown in Fig. 1 has a compound-movement breech-block 30; the combined part 9, 10 is shown in full lines in the position it occupies just before the gun is fired, and in dotted lines in the position it occupies just after firing. The combined part, shown separately in Fig. 7, comprises arms 8 and 10 and the hook 9, and is pivoted at 12. The rear end of the action-bar 3, Fig. 6, is formed with a bevel 2, and the bar is connected to the sliding handle 4. The bevel 2 acts against a bevel 7 on the front end of the arm 8, being held in engagement therewith by a spring 37, Fig. 1, to prevent accidental opening of the gun by a pull rearwards upon the handle 4. A hub 16 on the combined part carries a twolegged spring, the legs 17 and 18 acting respectively upon the points 19, 20 of a lug 21, Fig. 9, on the hammer. A locking-lug 29 on the hammer co-acts with the locking-hook 9 to prevent the hammer from following the breechblock 30 in its closing movements even if the trigger be pulled. To permit the hook 9 to incline rearward as the hammer 22 is swung. rearward by the breech-block 30 during its backward stroke, the lower face of the bar 3 is formed with a recess 40 terminating in a cam- 41. As the breech-block and bar move forward, the cam 41 engages the part 42 of the lever 8 thus swinging the hook 9 forward to engage the lug 29 of the hammer, and preventing the hammer from following the breech-block. When the breech is locked, the action-bar clears the arm 8, the spring 18 then raises the arm 8 to block any rearward motion of the bar, and the hook 9 sets free the. hammer. The recoil due to firing momentarily disengages the bevel 7 from the bevel 2, and the spring 17 then moves the arm 8 downwards to set free the action-bar. If it is desired to open the breech without firing the gun, the arm 8 of the combined part can be moved downwards by pressing the rear end 35 upwards.
